I think they should ban selling door to door - to dangerous and quite a number of us work odd hours. I am a shift worker and hate to be awakened. In my area they don't advertise that they are selling biscuits. Used to on the day. I think I have missed them in the last few years. I did ask the local Guide Leader and she told me she doesn't order a lot only the bear minimum - hard to sell. Better off catering for events or walkathons. Girl Guide biscuits are fattening.

My own girl guide logo nibbling has been replaced by <em>inhaling</em> fistfulls of the addictive chocolate-dipped girl guide mini's. Damn them! Ahh that’s classic.

They were rather bland from memory, and my Brownie career was rather short. I used to be a Brownie and we sold Girl Guide biscuits.

Ew! ;-) I think they did have these many years ago... or am I thinking of the tales you told me of these ones... anyway, I have not heard of this here recently in Oz [only in US TV & movies, of course] but I think the distrust of accepting food [or indeed candy] from strangers would have prevented prolification, and all those evil doers who want to waste their drugs by doping annonymous children. Actually, I don't think I could actually eat one thanks to the neuroses instilled in me by my upbringing. However, I am sure it's only a matter of time before the Australian streets are filled with gleeful "Brownies" skipping thru the suburbs hawking their goods and skimming the profits. Similar to the adoption of Halloween here - oh gee, that's a real local tradition now isn't it?! Do they go all soggy from all that oral attention? Ew! ;-)
